Skip to content As we age and our skin loses elasticity, our normal facial expressions cause lines and wrinkles to form. Botox® and Dysport® are neuromodulators that help relax specific facial muscles responsible for wrinkle formation. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, these treatments make the skin smoother, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed look—without the “frozen” effect. At Viva Medspa & Wellness in Cranston, RI, we specialize in Botox® and Dysport® treatments that enhance natural beauty while maintaining facial expression and movement.

Botox®
Botox® has been the gold standard neuromodulator for over twenty years. It is FDA-approved for treating three primary areas of the upper face, including forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Botox® is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to improve the look of mild to moderate dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by facial movement). It blocks nerve impulses to the injected muscles, reducing muscle activity that causes wrinkles. Results usually last 3–4 months before a follow-up session is recommended.
Dysport®
Dysport® is another highly effective neuromodulator that smooths wrinkles and prevents new lines from forming. It works similarly to Botox® but spreads slightly more after injection, making it a great option for treating larger areas like forehead lines. Dysport® provides natural-looking results and lasts 3–5 months, depending on individual response. Both Botox® and Dysport® can also be used to treat migraines, TMJ, and neck laxity & wrinkles, offering both cosmetic and medical benefits.
At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we offer customized Botox® and Dysport® treatments in Cranston, RI, helping you achieve smoother skin and a refreshed appearance.
While Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:
Nausea and Vomiting: Common during the initial stages of treatment as the body adjusts.
Diarrhea or Constipation: Gastrointestinal issues may occur but often subside over time.
Low Blood Sugar: Rare but possible, especially when combined with other diabetes medications.

WHILE TAKING SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE
While Semaglutide is effective for weight loss, there is a potential risk of muscle loss if proper precautions are not taken. At Viva we have the solution for you!
Evolve X contouring is a non-invasive procedure that uses electrical muscle stimulation to strengthen, tone and sculpt the body. It targets specific muscle groups, mimicking the effects of a workout by inducing muscle contractions. One 30 minute treatment is equivalent to hours in the gym!
To maintain muscle mass and enhance your results, it is recommended to include EvolveX along with consistent strength training for the entirety of the time you are taking weight loss injections.
When combined with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss, EvolveX can transform your body!
WHILE TAKING SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE
When losing weight we run the risk of losing skin laxity and having loose sagging skin. For all of our weight loss clients we recommend starting Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling as soon as you start the weight loss process. Morpheous 8 RF microneedling stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. When paired with Semaglutide treatments, Morpheous 8 RF Microneedling can help address skin laxity that might arise as a result of weight loss and fat reduction. This combination ensures that patients not only achieve their desired body shape but also enjoy smoother, firmer skin.
Book a consultation to determine if Morpheus 8 RF Microneedling is the skin tightening solution for you.
WHILE TAKING SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE

For optimal results, a course of 6–10 sessions is usually recommended
Following pre-treatment guidelines helps ensure optimal results and minimal side effects
What to Avoid Before Botox®
By following these steps, you can achieve the best possible results from your Botox® or Dysport® treatment.
Results will last 3 to 5 months, depending on individual metabolism, the treatment area, and lifestyle factors, including sun exposure, skincare routine, and muscle activity. Some patients find that Dysport® may take effect slightly faster than Botox®, while Botox® may have a longer duration in certain areas. Regular touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain optimal results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort as the quick injections are performed using a fine needle. Some describe the sensation as a small pinch or light pressure. A numbing cream or ice pack can be applied beforehand to ensure comfort. Any mild discomfort typically fades within minutes after the procedure.
You may notice mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but it usually resolves within a few hours or a few days. In rare cases, temporary muscle weakness, mild headaches, or slight drooping of the eyelid can develop, but these effects are only temporary and will eventually subside.
Yes! While Botox® and Dysport® are primarily known for smoothing wrinkles, they are also FDA-approved for medical conditions such as chronic migraines, TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and neck wrinkles (platysmal bands).
Absolutely! Botox® and Dysport® pair well with dermal fillers, microneedling, chemical peels, and laser skin resurfacing to enhance facial rejuvenation. Combining treatments can provide a more balanced, youthful appearance by simultaneously addressing volume loss, skin texture, and deeper wrinkles.
